Description

Faith, religion, and spirituality can be a supportive and comforting resource following the loss of anyone or anything that leaves a sense of deprivation and yearning. However, for some people their relationships to a higher power and/or spiritual community are painfully wounded, leading to the secondary loss of their spiritual resources, connections, and spiritual crisis. In this session, you’ll learn to recognize the impact of complicated spiritual grief on the bereaved’s grieving process and increase your skills in conducting a comprehensive clinical assessment and development of effective treatment plans.
